THE Sentinel, the Cincinnati Enquirer and
other Democratic papers have published lying
reports of the meeting of Republican editors at
the New Denison on Tuesday last, in which it
was stated that attempt to commit the news

for the presidency had been almost unanimously
rejected. Mr.. S. Water, editor of the Lafayette

he says of it:
''W. II. Smith. Indiana correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette proposed. as he
said, at the suggestion of several of the editors
themselves that the State central committee
be requested to arrange for weekly letter from
the State capital to each Republican county pa

of Martinsville and one two others. and OPP
posed by nearly everybody else present-some
because they imagined it a scheme of Smiths

some because they We're opposed to the estab-

The whole affair discussed purely from a
business stand point. Nothing said, eug-

or anybody's boom. for any thing. The literary
matter was i'll any case to be prepared under di-
rection of the State committee, to bear upon
general topics and be purely impersonal. There
was nothing else suggested; and even if it were
not So the editors were to be under no obliga-
ton to print or any portion of such matter,
only suited their views. The largely FREEDOM
inant sentiment was, however opposed to the
establishment of any sort of literary bureau

unanimously. But any possible presidential

LAST YEARS RAINFALL.
The Worst Year for Kansas in Twelve
Years.

1t is unnecessary to tell the people of
Kansas that last year was disastrously
droutby, especially in the eastern half of
the state. The crops in this most favored
Ind rich valley did not reach hardly half a
Weld. The record kept at tie State Uni
versity by Prof Snow, tells the whole
truth. These records show that the entire
rainfall, including melted snow, was 24.2
inches. Which is il. CO inches below the an
nual average. Either rain or snow, or
both, in measurable quantities, fell on l03
days-one less than the average. On ID
other days rain or snow fell IN guam
titv too small for measurement The
number Of thunder showers was %.
There was but one light hail storm during
the wear. Tie droUth which prevailed
during July. August and September was
the only serious drouth in Kansas since
1874. From June 26th to July oath, an
interval Of twenty seven days, there was
an entire absence Of rain. From the same
date TO September 18th. a period of eighty
one days, the rainfall was but 2.65 inches.
In 1871 the drouth extended from June
18th to September 81, an interval Of eighty
DAYS. during which the rainfall was only
2f9 inches. Thus the drouth of 'S6 was
one day longer than that Of "A, but the
latter began nearly two weeks earlier in
the season and was therefore more disas-
trous in lis effects.

FORT SCOTT AND WICHITA FORE
CLOSURE.

From the t-lo. = nemg'rtt,
This week judge HFcwer, Of the United
States circuit court. performed one OF hls
most important official acts, the appoint
ment Of J. H. Richards of Wichita, re
ceiver of the Fort Scott 4 Wichita railway.
The new receiver has been for several years
connected with the road in the capacity Of
general attorney Six months since he was
elected vice president, and since the death
of Ii. NJ. HOXie, the regularly elected IN
cumbent, has acted as president eX-OfficO.
For some six months or more a foreclosure
suit has been pending on the part of about
one-half Of the holders of the first mort
gage bonds of the road, while second
mortgage bonds We're also held
for comparatively small amount by other
parties. The first mortgage boRdholders
asked the court for a foreclosure of their
mortgages and the appointment of re-
ceiver, and as they were entitled to do an
der its terms demanded the entire sum due,
both principal and interest, though only
the latter was defaulted. This, of ceuse,
brought all the first mortgage bondholders
ihto court anu 'iieIeuioh 'iie S''on' :. uond-
noiue ~ uruu-nt suit Of foreclosure also
upon cross bill The latter asked for a
decree of foreclosure, to be allowed to pay
off the former entirely, and to be subro-
gated to all their rights The first mort
gage bonders could DO nothing less under
the circumstances than accept of these
terms. The question of how much
was outstanding on first and second
mortgage bonds was referred TO the
master in chancery, p. p Dillon, and
upon the filing of his report the
court entered up decree as prayed for in
the complaints of both parties. and by
special agreement OF all concerned ap-
pointed J. H. Richards as receiver. This
appointment was satisfactory 10 the
stoch holders rs we'll as the resi-. so that the

a bright, intelligent boy aged 10 years, son
OF Nat Mullen, of Onion Valley, was in
stantly killed at the Thomas claim on
Poormsn's Greek by the explosion of a
quicksilver tank that had been loaded
with powder for the purpose Of planting in
the claim to protect the sluices from rob-
bers. The unfortunate boy was stopping
with W. H. Knowles, who is in charge
during the Winter. From what we can
learn the tam was in the adjoining room
to the kitchen, whore Mr.. Knowles was
cooking dinner. The boy got a hammer
and was pounding on the tank, when he
struck the cap that had been fixed for ex-
ploding it. The explosion tore away the
whole front part of the body from the
chest downward. Mr.. Knowles notified
his parents OF the dreadful accident as
soon as possible. The body was brought
to Onion Valley and buried last Thursday.
